Extracting video from a DVD...
- Start the DVDxDV program. The main window should appear:

- Insert an iDVD created DVD into your drive. If you don't have a DVD-ROM compatible drive, the disk will not mount.
- Check to see that the DVD has been mounted in the Finder window. Click on the Finder icon in the dock. When the Finder window appears, you should see a new DVD icon representing the DVD you just inserted.
- Switch back to the DVDxDV application. Select the "File" menu from the menu bar, and then select open DVD.
- DVDxDV will now attempt to load files from your DVD. This may take several seconds to a few minutes. If nothing happens, check to make sure the DVD disk has been recognized by MacIntosh.
- DVDxDV should have one or more video loaded. It should be similar to this:
- You can click through the files in the list to view any of the clips from the DVD.
- You are now ready to make a new video clip from one of these files. Select "New Movie" from the "Extract" menu.

- The following window will appear:
- This window will allows you to select the type of video you would like to create. If you select the Formats button, the following list will appear:
The first two selections, "iMovie/FCP - NTSC" and "iMovie/FCP - PAL", are for creating a video clip that can be imported into iMovie 3.0 or Final Cut Pro. The last selection, "Expert Settings", allows you to have full control over all of the Quicktime video export parameters.
- Once you have selected the settings that you want, click the "Export" button. The "Save" dialog box will then appear:
- Once the extraction is complete, the dialog box will disappear. The new video file that you created is ready to use. If you want to stop the extraction early, press the Cancel button.
